Problema Solution

IN triangle ABC the size of angle B is 5 times the size of angle A, And the size of angle C is 11 degrees less then 4 times angle A. What the size of angle A, B and C

Answer provided by our tutors

let a, b and c represent the measurements of the angles: angle A, angle B and angle C correspondingly


since they are angles in triangle their sum is equal to 180 degrees:


a + b + c = 180


the size of angle B is 5 times the size of angle A:


b = 5a


the size of angle C is 11 degrees less then 4 times angle A:


c = 4a - 11


by solving the system of equations:


a + b + c = 180


b = 5a


c = 4a - 11


we find:


a = 19.1 degrees


b = 95.5 degrees


c = 65.4 degrees
